An expat billionaire is moving back to Britain so he can donate millions to Reform UK. Ben Delo, who lives in Hong Kong, gave £4 million to Nigel Farage’s insurgent party earlier this year.

But the Government has since changed the law to impose a £100,000 cap on donations from Britons living abroad. Mr Delo, the co-founder of cryptocurrency trading platform BitMEX, accused Sir Keir Starmer of trying “to stack the political deck against the most popular opposition party”.
